Honestly, and maybe I just have no feel for these races, I couldn't make a solid case for anyone ouside the favorites in the four stakes I looked at.

With the torrential rain in NY, it was absolutely pouring tonight, tomorrow feels like pretty much a pass for me.

CAN'T LOSE, so true....

IMO, Proudinsky is worth a play. I am telling ya, they are going to pound Daytona and Solis will **** it up.

If I worried about jockeys screwing it up when I bet I would never bet. People will blame Solis if Daytona loses but I highly doubt he will have anything to do with it.

It looks like a chalky day...
















































that means bombs will fly. It never fails. I'll say it'll be some locals to blow things up.

blackthroatedwind 03-08-2008 12:00 AM

You may be right Pillow.....but I can't see any bombs so if they win I won't have them.

Thus.....passeana.

No doubt about it.

I went to the fairgrounds website and the track is listed as good and the turf course is listed as OFF.

It is gonna be a wait and see kinda day. I imagine the track will be changing after every other race. Also imagine the turf horses will scratch

shorter fields and shorter prices... not too excited about the day.

Danzig 03-08-2008 09:00 AM

so much for soft going, instead we have no going.

Yesterday's track conditions are still up on the website. They usually update it around 10:30-11:00 CST.

LA Derby

My Pal Charlie looks interesting. This will definately be his toughest test (by far), but he has won the last 2 around 2 turns and looks to be moving up the scale form-wise. 20/1 ML doens't hurt matters, either.

Can't play Yankee Bravo. First start on a traditional dirt surface against this field doesn't turn me on.

J Be K is intriging, but I'll stay away. The "1st time around 2 turns" angle ranks high in my book. If he beats me, then he beats me.

I really wish Tale Of Ekati and Majestic Warrior had one race before this one.

I'll box Pyro and My Pal Charlie in the exacta.

Go ahead and buy the Pyro- MPC exacta straight. 3-2.
Because anyone can run 2nd in a rasce when you have a stand-out like pyro.


I'll book the MPC- Pyro exacta for as much as you want. 2-3

booner 03-08-2008 10:59 AM

Track conditions:

Main - Fast
Turf - Yielding (on the hedge)

I thought about Pyro - MPC straight, but there is just something about MPC that caught my eye. I'm going to stick to playing it both ways.

I'll pass on your offer. Thanks anyway. :D

Cajungator26 03-08-2008 12:24 PM

Going with a Tale of Ekati, Pyro and J Be K tri. :)

Scav 03-08-2008 03:01 PM

Tell you this about Grasshopper, he is a hell of a looking horse....

Payson Dave 03-08-2008 03:15 PM

CQ was very gutty in that stretch run....as was GH

Indian Charlie 03-08-2008 03:29 PM

GPK 03-08-2008 03:37 PM

I hope I don't get suckered into betting on him because the odds seem favorable....but I probably will.

I frequently seem to find reasons to play this horse when no person in their right mind would do so.

Coach Pants 03-08-2008 03:42 PM

Daytona lost without Solis' help.
